I knew a guy that always wore cut off shirts. He developed a glandular problem in his early twenties and put those away when his abs went from washboard to laundromat

Don’t judge him just because he’s a welder by day and a dancer by night.

It’s…working for him..

We wore those under our football jerseys. It was an athlete thing.

He was not alone with that in 1985.

I think you may have confused “clothing choice” with “haircut”.

Well he’s the one surrounded by babes so not that unfortunate

Dude is simply doing business as business is being done.
Good on him for keeping his eyes on the prize and paying no heed to traditionalists.

I don’t know how to tell you this, but here goes. Right now there’s a photo of you that, forty years from now, you’ll look at and say, “What was I thinking when I wore *that*?”

With vibes like that, I bet you have a few cousins thanks to your uncle.

Judging from the company he has at the party it looks like he’s doing just fine.

You sure this was unfortunate? Looks like the ladies LOVED it.

His clothes remind me of what Agador (played by Hank Azaria) wears in this scene in the movie ‘The Birdcage’
He’s showing off his treasure trail superbly. People were much more comfortable with their bodies then. Not like the towel dancing ninnies one finds today at gyms, showering in swimsuits.

He either was wearing teeny little shorts with that OR acid wash baggy jeans with pleats in the waist. No other option.

Oh! Brother CAN rock that crop top — he’s yummy.

Was he wearing Dolphin shorts too? Cause that would be unfortunate.

BRING BACK MEN IN CROPPED TOPS.

Dude your uncle is hanging out with some 80s bombshells. That shirt is perfect energy for him.

Crop tops for men were big in the 80s, as were short shorts.

OP’s judging 40-year-old fashion by today’s standards.
OP should also remember that they have a shitload of images on social media waiting to be roasted 40 years from now.

For 1985 that wasn’t unfortunate, and I bet he got fortunate that night.

Life of the party kinda vibe
What’s unfortunate??
The cut off shirt? Meh. Everyone wore those.
Unfortunate or quintessential 80’s?
Yes.
